Classic Lace-up Leather Shoes, 8.5/42

I'm a new organ student and needed a pair of shoes I could use to play pedals; my teacher recommended these, and they work rather well so far! The size fit me exactly – I measured my feet to be 10.75 inches from heel to the tip of my big toe, which lined up with the 10.5 sizing in the product description, and the 10.5 size fit my feet just about perfectly for organ playing, very snugly. The heel is a good height for organ playing, and the suede bottoms are easy to feel the pedals with. The toe is also not pointed, which helps to play the black key pedals easily. The sides of the shoes do rub/stick/squeak against each other a little bit, which I'm hopeful a little shoe polish might resolve. Also, the side of the shoe near the arch is somewhat wide, so it's difficult to place one foot inside the little nook of the other in order to play adjacent notes. However, for the price, and assuming the material will wear in over time, I don't see how an organist could go wrong with these shoes.
